I found the picture of this little boy through Pinterest and as soon as I saw him I thought of this childhood rhyme. You can find the picture HERE.
I used Tim Holtz Distress Paint Daubers (Peeled Paint and Broken China) to start the background. I added various stencils using TH Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain distress Ink. The wrought Iron fence was done by using an edge stamp and adding lines for the fence using a Pitt pen. I don't know the name of the stamp because I misplaced the packaging but this is the set below.
Sorry there is a glare on it but you can see the stamp that I used at the very bottom of the set. I used TH Hanging Sign Die for the sign. I colored it using Scattered Straw, then went over that lightly with Vintage Photo. I sprinkled it with water, let it dry and then went over it again with Vintage Photo. I printed the saying on computer paper, tore it to fit the sign and distressed it the same way I did the sign itself. I used a black Gelato to edge the sign. I added eyelets to the sign and then did this.....
I put my trinket case back on the shelf and it slid off, hit the floor and spread all my brads. eyelets, buttons, keys, etc. ALL over the floor. So I swept them up and dumped them back in to be sorted at a later date. UGH!
Lastly I drew music notes using a Pitt Pen. I also drew circles at the top of the sign for chains.
NEXT CAME THIS LITTLE CUTIE!
I am very happy with both pages BUT, I am finding that Little Tommy Tucker is getting gold glitter all over himself because these pages are opposite each other in my journal!
Love, love, love these pages. So cute. You're getting so good at those backgrounds. Nicely done.
